Bu Ling smiled slightly: "Nothing much, just helping others and taking Sister Jiang Hua's mother-in-law to the police station."
Grandpa Wu: ? ? ?
Jiang Nian: ? ? ?
Others: ? ? ?
"Comrade Buling, what do you mean by that?" Jiang Nian asked, frowning.
Bu Ling looked at him sympathetically: "Look, there they are. They are Jiang Hua's husband and mother-in-law from the countryside. They said that when Jiang Hua returned to the city, she stole all the money from their family, so they came all this way to get the money back."
Jiang Nian looked in the direction Bu Ling was pointing and saw two unfamiliar figures. He almost immediately realized, "Could they be scammers?"
Buling whispered, "Your sister has already accepted it."
Jiang Nian's face darkened instantly. The look in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Hua could no longer be described simply as disgust. "Jiang Hua, is this true?"
Before Jiang Hua could even speak, Aunt Shen objected: "Boss, what do you mean?"
"Mom, even now you're still protecting her. Have you forgotten how our family was talked about because of her?" Jiang Nian was completely speechless.
Thinking of that humiliating past, his eyes were filled with rage: "You say we don't love our sister, but have we not fought enough for her since we were little?"
“From childhood to adulthood, you’ve only ever cared about your younger sister, always expecting us to give in to her. Aren’t my second brother and I your children too? Huh?” Jiang Nian roared.
"How much more do you want me to side with her? Do you want me to sacrifice the whole family for her? Mom, can't you think about us for once?"
Jiang Nian poured out all the resentment he had held for so many years, shocking not only Aunt Shen and Jiang Hua, but also the neighbors in the courtyard and Grandpa Wu.
Jiang Nian has always been seen as a smooth, shrewd, and calculating person, always smiling and never making enemies. Everyone has a good impression of him, so this is the first time they've seen him lose his temper and yell like that.
"Boss... what are you talking about? Jiang Hua is your sister!" Aunt Shen's voice trembled slightly.
"She's not my sister! She's just your daughter!" Jiang Nian was completely fed up with cleaning up the messes these two made every day.
As the saying goes, "a long illness tests filial piety," and a troublesome mother will also find no dutiful son. Ever since Jiang Hua went to the countryside, his mother has been acting like a madwoman, causing trouble everywhere.
Even so, his own son had to go around apologizing to everyone. As a result, he had a difficult time at the factory for a while, and it was also difficult for him to get along with his neighbors.
This is all because of his mother and sister. He had just managed to calm down these negative influences, and now they're causing trouble again!
"Mother, can you please spare my life? Please give your son a way out!"
It is said that men do not easily shed tears, but at this moment, everyone felt very sorry for Jiang Nian when they saw his tears.
Bu Ling said to Ming Xiangru, who had come closer to her, "Aunt Shen and Jiang Hua are simply toxic. Look what they've driven Jiang Nian to."
Ming Xiangru looked at Jiang Nian with sympathy and nodded in agreement. Then, thinking of her sister-in-law who was still lying in bed, she sighed, "Every family has its own troubles!"
Buling felt nothing at all; her family's situation was quite easy to manage.
"Hey, we can talk about your family matters later. Let's talk about that slut who stole money from my family first!" Granny Jiang Hua couldn't help but make her presence known.
"Miss, please take me to the police station!" she said, turning to Buling.
Bling: "Okay!"
"No!" Jiang Nian cried out, trying to stop him. "Comrade Bu Ling, please, don't alert the police." He really didn't want to live that kind of ostracized life again.
Bu Ling shrugged. "Comrade Jiang Nian, this isn't something I can decide. I was just trying to help." The implication was clear: you've asked the wrong person.
Jiang Hua immediately realized what was happening and took two quick steps toward Jiang Hua's mother-in-law: "Auntie, tell me, how much money does my sister owe your family? I'll make her pay you back."
Grandma Jiang Hua snorted coldly: "This old woman has been here for so long, and finally someone is asking her how much money she stole from my house!"
Without even glancing at the grim expressions on everyone's faces, she said, "Listen carefully, she stole 330 yuan from my family, which was our family's life savings."
"Nephew, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you return this money to your aunt and reimburse her for her travel expenses, your aunt will not hold it against you!"
Jiang Hua's mother-in-law came here mainly to ask for money. As for the man's suggestion to take Jiang Hua home, she wouldn't agree to that. As long as she got the money, she would go back to the village immediately.
As for this plague-stricken daughter-in-law, let whoever wants her take her. Her family is too small to support such a big Buddha!
"So many! Why don't you just rob them!" Aunt Shen shrieked.
Grandma Jiang ignored Aunt Shen completely, staring intently at Jiang Nian, hoping he would give her a definite answer.
Jiang Nian's expression stiffened for a moment, then she said softly to Jiang Hua's mother-in-law, "It's all the right thing to do, Auntie. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."
After saying that, he turned to look at Jiang Hua, who had been keeping his head down the whole time: "Give the money back to them!"
Jiang Hua kept her head down, pretending to be dead and not moving. She had been doing this ever since Jiang Nian started yelling.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Nian's anger flared up. He took two steps forward and grabbed her shoulders, saying, "Jiang Hua, look at me and speak!"
Jiang Hua winced in pain, looked up, and saw Jiang Nian's bloodshot eyes. Her eyes narrowed slightly, but she couldn't help but laugh again: "You believe everything she says? I already told you I didn't take their money!"
Jiang Nian didn't believe her at all. He knew his own sister better than anyone else what kind of person she was: "Either you take out the money, or you go back with them!"
